This chapter introduces the Baudhayana-Pythagoras Theorem, which describes the relationship between the sides of a right-angled triangle. It states that in a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides (legs).

- Identify the largest number in the triplet, which is 5. This will be 'c'. The other two numbers are 'a' and 'b'.
- Calculate a² + b²: 3² + 4² = 9 + 16 = 25.
- Calculate c²: 5² = 25.
- Compare the results. Since 3² + 4² = 5², the triplet (3, 4, 5) satisfies the Pythagorean theorem.
